As Liu Da's voice became lower, the last sounds of idle chatter nearby also disappeared, and everyone began to gather towards him involuntarily.

"Of course it's you. Didn't you say that if you work in the mine, you'll have food and drink?" the thin man said in confusion.

"Fuck me. There are so many people here, I can't even call out their names, how can I gather them together?" Liu Da felt that it made sense for a person to be deceived. If he was smart enough, he would definitely not appear here.

"It was Lord Ruan Shihao's idea. Have you forgotten?" Liu Da said, "Lord Ruan contacted the loyal and brave men in the court to cover us. He used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain and diverted the main force of the Qinghe people."

"You know what it means to lure a tiger away from its mountain?"

"don't know."

"You don't understand anything and you're afraid, so just go back. One more and one less won't make any difference."

"I'm not going back." Hearing Liu Da's words, the lean man became even more resolute. "Although I don't understand what you're saying, since this is what Lord Ruan meant, it must be right. I don't need to know why. Anyway, it's right to listen to him."

Everyone nearby nodded in agreement. It seemed that many people did not understand the meaning of "luring the tiger away from the mountain".

"Lord Ruan can mobilize troops? Isn't he a civil servant? If Lord Ruan can mobilize troops, he might as well just mobilize them to attack this mine." Someone said this in the crowd.

"Lord Ruan can't mobilize troops, but the Right Prime Minister can. Besides, who can our officers and soldiers defeat? Have they ever won a battle? And Lord Ruan repeatedly warned us not to use officers and soldiers this time, so as not to give the Qinghe people an excuse to attack us."

"If they are not soldiers, then what are they? What does the Right Prime Minister have to do with this? Is the Right Prime Minister also one of us?" The man asked three questions in a row in the crowd.

"Everyone knows that the Right Prime Minister has a grudge against the people of Qinghe." Seeing everyone nodding, Liu Da continued, "Lord Ruan spent all his family wealth to bribe the Right Prime Minister, so the Right Prime Minister sent his own guards to handle this matter. Even if they are captured by the Qinghe people, as long as they are not our soldiers, they are bandits."

"What if he gets caught and betrays the Right Prime Minister?"

"What should we do? I tell you, if anyone leaks the news and gets caught, he must give up the right prime minister if he can't stand it. He is just a useless official and his death is not a pity. Besides, he is the prime minister after all, and the people of Qinghe should not be able to do anything to him." Liu Da said viciously.

Yes, the people of Qinghe would not do anything to the Right Prime Minister anyway. At most they would just kill a few of his sons. But the Right Prime Minister is so resilient, so it doesn’t matter if a few die.

The lean man listened and thought for a moment, then said firmly: "I understand. If we grab something today, we will have a good life for the next few days. If we drive away the Qinghe people, we will have a good life every day. If we are caught, it is because the Right Prime Minister sent me here."

The man's words were simple and clear, and the people around him understood them immediately. They all agreed and called their friends to pass on this principle.

When Liu Da heard this, he thought, hey, I didn't expect him to be a promising talent. If he didn't die this time, he could introduce him to the people of Qinghe when he needed people in the future.

After Liu Da said so much, he saw that it was still early, so he leaned against a big tree and prepared to rest for a while. When he just closed his eyes, the thin man went around to his blind spot, turned around and gave a look to the people in the woods.

Not long after, in a small valley behind the mine.

"Boss, that Liu Da has performed very well. The news has been spread."

Jiang Ping looked at the newcomer, nodded, and said, "Okay, how are the preparations going at the mine?"

The man replied, "The main force has left. The remaining guards were recruited locally and screened, and they're all Khmer spies. Normally, we work with the mines to monitor these people, but it's been a distraction from our work. Now, we're finally going to get rid of them all at once."

"How many of us are left in the mines?"

"Only Mine Supervisor Wang and a small group of guards remain. Mine Supervisor Wang said he'll have to show up later to reassure the others. Otherwise, the guy inside responsible for opening the door might become suspicious. But he'll leave once the mob enters the mine. Our brothers who are supposed to pick us up are also ready."

"That's fine, but from now on, you must be careful with your words. These are not some mob, they are the private soldiers raised by Right Prime Minister Yang Yizhen."

"But, Boss, are we just going to blatantly put the blame on Yang Yizhen?"

"Why, you can't bear to leave?"

"I have no regrets. I'm just saying, if we do it so obviously, won't it arouse suspicion?"

"Of course it would arouse suspicion. But now the Khmer King and his two chancellors are seriously ill. Perhaps because the fighting has stopped recently, they have all been ill one after another. Our sisters lurking in the palace reported that they heard the Khmer King shouting and shouting in the middle of the night, running around with swords raised, his eyes red, and several strong guards unable to get close to him. As for the two chancellors, they also have similar symptoms."

"I see. So now, as long as there is a war, or something that could cause a war, they will accept it."

"They're not admitting it. From what we've observed recently, they're suspicious and will investigate, but their lucid moments are few and far between. Unless we present the results of our investigation right then and there, they'll be distracted by new news about the war and completely forget everything that happened before."

"Oh, I don't know what it is. It's fine, but it gets sick as soon as I don't fight."

"Hmph, no matter what disease he has, it hasn't been cured in all these years, which shows that it is a terminal illness. But it's okay that he is sick, but he has killed so many people, which is simply unforgivable. But if he wants to fight, we will satisfy him. After this incident, we will beat him to our heart's content." Jiang Ping said angrily.
